Connotations of Love

There’s friend love and then there’s looove love. Oftentimes we as teenagers seem to forget that there’s a difference between the two. Some take the word very seriously, and others use the word lightly. I use the word for friendship, but never in a romantic manner. I fear the romantic connotations, but I feel that telling someone I “like” them has more romantic connotations than the former.

For the two different types to understand each other, there needs to be a spoken understanding, I think… It’s like when two people look at a cloud and see different shapes. The two look at the word love and see it in a different way. However, that doesn’t mean that the cloud is not there; and it doesn’t mean that the love doesn’t exist. Only that the first person does not preceive love in the same way as the second does.
